It would be D because there is more gravitational forces acting on it than a small block of wood

If the objects are all at the same distance from the center
of the Earth, then the gravitational forces between the Earth
and each object only depend on the mass of each object. 
Those forces are least for the 5kg object, and greatest for
the 2,540kg object. 

The gravitational force that attracts each object toward the
center of the Earth is typically referred to as the object's "weight".

It's important to know that there's another force of gravity ... the one
that attracts the Earth toward the object.  And that one is equal to
the object's weight, but pulls in the opposite direction.

Your weight on the Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.

Potential energy calculation - MxGxH. Gravity equals 10. How much
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Ep = 0.6095 [J]

Explanation:

As defined in the problem statement, potential energy is defined as the product of mass by gravity by height. But first we must convert all the values given to measures of the international system (SI)

g = gravity = 10 [m/s^2]

h = elevation = 40 [ft] = 12.19 [m]

m = mass = 5 [g] = 0.005 [kg]

Ep = potential energy [J]

Ep = 0.005*10*12.19 = 0.6095 [J]

A particular solid is an excellent conductor of thermal energy. Is it more likely to be a metal or a non-metal?
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
It is more likely to be a metal. This is because metals are good heat conductors whereas non metals tend to be poor heat conductors.
